Senior Chism scored 26 points and made all 10 free-throw attempts against Ole Miss, and led the Vols with 17 points and 11 rebounds on Thursday.
The Rebels (21-9) not only come into this game a bit more rested than Tennessee, but they're also determined for a strong tournament performance knowing their NCAA fate is on the line.
Ole Miss, which won its final four regular-season games to earn a share of the SEC West crown, is on the outside of the NCAA tournament picture and needs a strong showing to receive its first berth since 2002.
"We're playing for a lot," coach Andy Kennedy said after Saturday's 68-66 win over Arkansas. "To get to 21-9 and 9-7, and to continue our winning streak ... gives us some much-needed momentum."
Led by junior guard Warren, who averages a team-best 17.2 points, the Rebels are trying to reach the SEC semifinals for the first time since 2007.
Warren is coming off one of his best performances of the season, scoring 20 of his 31 points in the second half of Saturday's comeback win over the Razorbacks.

I might just stay away from this and pull for you guys in this one.
please explain why they had no business beating them. Oh and also please explain why JDO & Cubillian won't score above his average ever again. I'm dieing to hear your thought process on this. You seem to be full of knowledge.
